Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for August 24, 2024

Oh. Ha ha, we were right! Er, I mean, of course I knew it all the time.

This is super strange. It is almost like Silence of The Lambs, as Rip has to talk to Murphy to save the day(and his wife). I thought it was going to be Breezy.

What happens if JP Murphy DOESN’T want his wife back?

Isn’t it unusual for kidnappers to deal directly with law enforcement? Usually they say “don’t call the police or else!”

I must admit to being relieved that the Haywire family have not been Ka kidnapped.

Why is the richest man in town sitting in their jail?

KA-HALF PRICE!

What if it was actually J.P. Murphy himself who arranged the kidnapping?

The sheriff’s shoes aren’t made for walking.

Maybe he would rather remain the richest man in town. It’s been known to happen.

Didn’t I see Breezy at the sheriff’s office just before the fun started? I’m wondering— just who the kidnappers think is the ‘richest man in Starlight’?
